A fingerpicky tune from the old days.
The different guitar voices (nylon string classical and Guild 12-string) were attained using a Line 6 Variax 600 modeling guitar. Great for recording, but I returned it because of some minor issues.
Yeah the Variax even had a cool banjo and sitar model! But I took it back to GC because the harmonics sounded tinny, nothing like an acoustic. A minor quibble, really.

A test run with my new Line 6 DL4 delay pedal. Recorded with a handheld mp3 recorder, hence the ambient room noise. The DL4 was fed into a BOSS loop pedal also. No overdubs, all on the fly.

This track is the result of putting Kavin's excellent track [Propitiation](http://alonetone.com/kavin/tracks/propitiation) through my Steve Reich style phased looper.
It's a beautiful piece but also quite a sparse sound which lead me to think…
Great Texas Blues song.I like the fact that a classic blues tune like this was written right here in East Texas.These songs are truly part of the history of this area, trains still run the tracks, but not nearly as important nowadays to the people…
A remix. I originally mixed this using laptop speakers because I was away from home. Took the drums down and brought the ipod sounds up. Thinking of doing an album of this stuff for RPM. Thanks for yer comments!
This is a rough mix of a song I have been working on. It needs the vocal re doing when I get rid of my cold and there is still a verse or two to write. the final mix is now up on site. called REPO MAN (final mix) check it out
Repo man knocking…
Another loop - not recorded that well and don't have the time to do much with it, but here it is none the less. The title more or less is a reflection on my life at the moment. Using the same junk I always do...
All guitars by my good friend Chris Mitchell. I had a chance to record this while I was in Dallas this past Summer. This is a companion piece to my song Secrets from the "Of Sound Mind" album, my RPM 2009 entry.
This is really a true story.
No, really...
And our holiday gift to you & your friends. (Feel free to download it and share it with anyone who you think might enjoy it.)
Oh... by the way... acl is finally waking from a very deep slumber…
"santa" and her elves used to live across the street, thankfully gone now, they must have moved to Fla! I would like some zztop tapes for Christmas....

This track is off of the third CD. This is an improv recorded one afternoon in my basement recording studio. Recorded with my Huss and Dalton MJC in standard tuning.
This track is off the third CD. It reminds me of the feeling that one has when having to do something that we'd rather not do. Recorded with my Godall 12 in standard tuning.

Yep. All sounds are guitar. Filtered thru ebow and Line6 DL4 pedal. Thanks Kirk!
Awesome- are all those sounds guitar generated?
woahh, it's like a foggy memory...the kind that reanimates the senses. Nice work!
In some vague way this reminds me of Strange Cargo's Hinterland. Very ghost-y. I dig it.
great tone warm mids rich harmonics really soothing
Found this in random shuffle mode- nice track man!!
Oh WOW....this is EXCELLENT!!!!
This is really nice. Love the guitar work
nice pickin yeah!

Nice one! I like the 12 string sound. May have to check out the Line 6 jobs myself
great and a sweet haunting, i can imagine it with an electric sitar!!
reminds me of the summer and i can imagine it at some cider festival!1
mystic and evokes a hot suummer to me.
Oh, Oh, Oh, ... EXCELLENT!
Kavin...this is BRILLIANT!!!!
Thanks CE. A little delay and metal slide on the low strings. The "whale song" is reversed in the middle of the song.
This is great. I have been trying to figure out how to do this. So how (pray tell) do you get Humpback to sing guitar?
Phenomenal! Gorgeous!
You've gotta love a new toy! This makes me miss my headrush pedal.... :-( Great atmosphere you've created here.

Ah a song about my 2nd favorite hobby (besides music), much to my wife's chagrin ;-}
WOWOWEEEE!!
That's just like down home!

Like this one alot, but ended abruptly?
This is very cool.
Lovely. Great start for the new year.
@ dougsparling, apps used: Tongue Drum, Ellatron lite (mellatron), Bebot (theremin sound). I think all were free except bebot.
Nice to see your return to this form, Doug. Love it.
Merry Christmas to Sudara and all my friends here at alonetone. Peace be unto you and all your loved ones.
Very nice. Makes me wanna get my @ss in gear and get serious about writing lyrics again.
I'm always a sucker for pretty intertwining guitar lines!
"santa" and her elves used to live across the street, thankfully gone now, they must have moved to Fla! I would like some zztop tapes for Christmas....
"grinch's up a face"...love it!
Great tunes!
At first I thought "are you kidding?" then there was the suspense of waiting for something else to happen...
Great performance and sound.
Yeah! This sounds like it could have been on Clapton's first solo album.
Nice playing. Inspiring!
Great stuff Howard. Thanks for uploading these 3 albums. Wonderful listening for all us pickers.
